The global online bingo market, valued at $60 billion in 2022, is set to grow to $145.4 billion by 2030, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7%, according to Zion Market Research. Once associated with older players and traditional bingo halls, online bingo has evolved into a modern digital experience that appeals to a broader demographic. A significant shift is the increasing popularity of bingo among younger players. A YouGov survey shows that 28% of online bingo players are aged between 25-34, making them the largest demographic. The share of players aged 35-44 has also grown, while participation among those over 55 has declined. This reflects the broader accessibility of online platforms and the widespread use of smartphones. Spending habits have changed as well. Online bingo players tend to spend more on gambling than the average U.K. gambler. According to the study, 26% of online bingo players spend over £100 monthly on all forms of gambling, compared to just 16% of the general gambling population. Gender dynamics are shifting too. While women traditionally dominated the game, male participation has surged. In the 25-34 age group, 38% of players are now men. This shift highlights bingo’s growing appeal across genders and its ability to create a sense of community. Some platforms, like 888 Ladies, specifically cater to women through their branding and advertising, naturally attracting a larger female player base. Technology has reshaped the online bingo experience. Early versions were basic, but today’s offerings include interactive features such as chat rooms, side games, and even virtual reality options. Social media plays a key role, with operators using platforms to promote games and engage players. Jackpotjoy’s Chat-OVision, for example, allows live hosts to interact with players in real-time. While the U.K. remains a major hub, North America and AsiaPacific are showing significant growth due to increased internet access and smartphone adoption. Leading operators like bet365 and 888 Holdings continue to innovate, ensuring the game’s relevance in the digital era. Despite challenges, the market is poised for continued growth.
